How Zucchinis Benefits Healthy Children

Zucchini, also known as courgette, is a summer squash in the Cucurbitaceae plant family, alongside melons, spaghetti squash, and cucumbers. Zucchini may promote good digestion in a number of ways. For starters, they contain lots of water, which can soften stools. This makes them easier to pass and reduces your chances of your child getting constipated. Zucchini also contains both soluble and insoluble fibre. Insoluble fibre bulks up stools and helps food move through your child’s gut more easily, further reducing constipation risk. Meanwhile, soluble fibre feeds the beneficial bacteria living in your child’s gut. In turn, these friendly bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA’S) to nourish the cells lining the gut wall. What’s more, SCFAs may help reduce inflammation and symptoms of certain gut disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis
